Favourite song which has a title containing parenthesis.

[Jimmy Come Lately]

Nobody's spoken up for Exit Music (For A Film) yet? Then I guess it falls to me.


With honourable mention to All At Once (It's Not Important).

 

[OzMike]

Stay (Faraway, so close), my all time U2 favourite.

This has made me think of a 90's song by Dan Baird called "I Love You Period"... not because of parentheses in the title, but because it specifically mentions them in the song.
Its about a boy in school who writes a love letter to his English teacher and she gives it back to him having corrected the punctuation.

Back when I was goin' to school,
I never learned a thing
All I did was daydream,
A-waitin' for the bell to ring
I had a certain teacher,
I always tried to impress her
When she stood up in the classroom,
I would mentally undress her
Then one day I decided,
That I would write a little letter
She said the spellin' was a masterpiece,
The punctuation could be better
I understood what she was saying,
I got the gist of her sentiment
She said "I don't mean to be degrading,
"but here's the way that it should've went:"

I love you period
Do you love me question mark
Please, please exclamation point
I want to hold you in parentheses

What does parenthesis mean?

I'm guessing in brackets

 

[Worried Man Blues]

Nervous on the road (but can't stay at home) The Great Brinsley Schwarz

 

[Del Fenner]

I Want You (She's So Heavy).

By some average beat combo.

This has started well!

My contribution is:
I Know What I Like (In Your Wardrobe) by Genesis.

I've no idea how to embed stuff in threads, I'm afraid, so no You Tube video.

Me, I'm just a lawnmower.

Against All odds (take a look at me now) keeping the genesis singer links going

(Nothing but) Flowers - Talking Heads

 

[DavidinSouthampton]

Our "Friends" Electric? - Tubeway Army

That's quotation marks - not parentheses. Pedantry rules, OK.

 

[Garage_Doors]

 

[Stat Brother]

That's quotation marks - not parentheses. Pedantry rules, OK.

Finally.

I can now stop hyperventilating into a brown paper bag.

Love a bit of the Beatles.

 

[Stato]

That's quotation marks - not parentheses. Pedantry rules, OK.

So are we all agreeing to ignore that the song is called 'Are 'Friends' Electric?, not 'Our?'

 

[The Lemming Stomper]

If you like penis coladas......
